Regarding these CD’s one religious leader said, “There are many books out lately, but I believe none come close to being able to learn from the CD’s and workbook together. We need these tools in order to help those trapped in pornography fully recover and to salvage and foster marriages. I have not found any other product that compares to the benefit of what Dr. Skinner has created.”

“Thank you. Your teachings and help are aiding me through a once deep addiction as well as giving me the opportunity to help some friends go through it too. I will never be the same.”

Don’t look now but pornography addiction is on the rise and isn’t going to go away anytime soon. According to recent statistics twenty-five percent of all search engine requests are pornography related (Internet Pornography Statistics, 2003). In fact, it is estimated that roughly 72 million Internet users visit pornography websites each year (Pornography Statistics, 2003). The implications for such high levels of pornography involvement have yet to be socially examined. However, as a marriage and family therapist, my private practice has seen a tremendous increase in number of pornography related cases. I am seeing the devastating effects that pornography addiction has on adolescents, young adults, couples, and families.

Helping Individuals, Couples, Parents, and Leaders

As a professional who is seeing the powerful effects that pornography is having upon individuals, I have decided to create a website devoted to helping people who are looking for assistance in fighting pornography. The primary focus of this website is to help individuals who are looking for solutions to overcome pornography addictions. In addition, this site will provide resources to individuals who are trying to help a spouse or child overcome this addiction. Finally, I want to be a resource to professionals and religious leaders who are trying to help individuals overcome this addictive behavior.

The Importance of Recognizing Pornography as an Addiction

Over the past few years some have claimed that pornography cannot be addictive because it is NOT a substance. However, such claims are from people who don’t work with the pornography addicted client. Unfortunately, pornography addiction hasn’t received as much attention in the national media as alcohol or drug addiction. The result is that many individuals, couples, and families are being devastated by its insidious effects. As a society we cannot simply turn our back and expect that the problems pornography is creating will disappear.

Professionals, clergyman, and others wanting to help the pornography addicted client need more effective treatment tools to help those caught in the trap of pornography addiction. Further, until our society takes a stand and tries to reduce the easy accessibility of pornography, we will continue to see marriages end, an increase in socially inappropriate behaviors such as rape and child abuse, and addicted individuals suffering from depression and anxiety. The reality is that pornography dependency is a social problem that an unprecedented number of individuals are facing. Therefore, it is critical that we start taking the necessary measures to help individuals find solutions to overcoming pornography addictions.

Treating Pornography Addiction

As a professional I have clients who are addicted to drugs and alcohol. In comparison, individuals attempting to stop looking at pornography have as difficult, if not more difficult, time overcoming their addiction as individuals who are addicted to drugs or alcohol. One client described his experience with drugs and alcohol with me:

“In high school I used drugs and alcohol. I loved the high and used almost daily. Eventually I quit using drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, all along I had access to pornography and was viewing it on a regular basis. I didn’t think much about it because it was just pornography. Now five years later I cannot seem to stop looking at pornography. Honestly, I have had no problem with drugs and alcohol, but pornography has been almost impossible for me to quit.” – Addicted Pornography ClientSend Us Your Comments

Due to stories like this and hundreds more that I have heard, I do not take it lightly when I meet with individuals who come to me struggling to fight their personal battle with pornography. In fact, after talking with other professionals who have worked with drugs and alcohol, I see more commonalities in our clients than differences.

One of the biggest challenges with pornography is it’s easy accessibility, affordability, and anonymity. The pornography addicted client doesn’t have to go to the store anymore to find racy or sexually implicit material. They can find it in the secrecy of their own home or place of work. They can find it on their televisions or their cell phone. Simply said, pornography can be found anywhere and anytime.

My approach as a therapist is to educate, inform, and provide the necessary tools to individuals struggling to overcome pornography addiction. The tools I give to clients often lead to increased confidence and hope that the battle can be won. One of the most common phrases I hear is, “My temptations have really been low and I feel a lot more confident in myself.” In most cases, the fight is ongoing and takes a concerted effort to win. Anyone who believes that there is a quick fix is likely to be disappointed. Overcoming pornography addiction is an ongoing battle that can be won day by day, month by month, and year by year. There is hope, but you have to know where to find it.

In an effort to try to help clients fight this addiction, I have created a 4 step process to help individuals win their battle with pornography. The steps include:

Assessing your personal level of pornography addiction — Do you wonder if you are addicted to pornography? I have created a test to help individuals identify their personal addiction level to pornography. You can learn more about this test by clicking on the link below titled “Assessing Pornography Addiction” or the tool bar on the left side of this page titled “Assessment”.

Learn the tools to win the battle — Once you have assessed your level of addiction it is time to learn effective tools to help you overcome pornography addiction. These tools include:

Identifying the internal sequences that keep you addicted to pornography — this powerful tool is the key to creating change

Identifying the beliefs that keep you trapped

How to fight the battle with a legitimate game plan

The power of the productivity principle

Incorporating an external and internal game plan that will set you free

How to create a personal accountability plan and why it matters long-term–Statistics show that 5% of people can go cold turkey from addictive behaviors. Since relapse is prevalent with most addictions, it is imperative that an effective accountability system be established. Learn how to implement a personal accountability plan that is non-threatening.

How to track your progress and follow up so you win the battle –The human mind thrives on personal growth and development. It is critical for the mind to see progress. Learn how to track personal progress in a way that brings excitement and hope back into your life. This will include a plan for moving on so that you don’t have to carry the burden of pornography addiction for life.
